Gun Fire At 21 Savage Back to School Event

A spokesperson for the rapper released the following statement regarding the shooting at Zone 6 Day:

21 Savage is looking forward today to his third annual "Back 2 School Drive," where he is donating shoes, uniforms, supplies and giving away free haircuts.

He is saddened by the events that occurred at Zone 6, an event sponsored by the local community, which he attended with other local rappers. Zone 6 was intended to be an uplifting and positive event that brings the community closer together.

On Sunday, 21 Savage is scheduled to host his third annual "Issa Back 2 School Drive."

Last year more than 500 students attended the event hosted by the rapper's Leading by Example Foundation. This year 1,500 children will receive free haircuts, hairstyles, school uniforms and supplies.

Lord I'm praying you have mercy on these lost black boys and even more mercy on the lost black men who created the lost black boys.....and the ones who refuse to get it together....let the edomites deal with them

OK. First off, props to the young man for trying to do something positive. A back to school drive to help the kids in our community will ALWAYS be a positive thing, no matter how he looks. Is it the ideal representation of black manhood? No. But is he doing SOMETHING to help our community? YES. Which is more than many can say.

Now, for the assholes who came and started shooting? Nothing positive to say. We gotta stop that shit. WTF you bringing a gun to a kids' back to school event? Enough. We're not ever gonna get anywhere if we keep this shit up. We are turning ourselves into an endangered species.

I live in the A and no way would I cosign my teen son going to any of these event hosted by local "wrappers" I encourage him to stay far away from the fuckery. I would not be caught dead or alive at any of these events.

So many thoughts. First of all, I refuse to go an event where the people hosting, sponsoring event, etc. are under 40. It is not safe. That being said, I guess you can also make the argument that any potential get together Anywhere, USA is unsafe.

I know that nobody wants to be shot, but why break into someone else's yard where you could risk "sho 'nuf" being shoot. So not thinking. Instead of being holed up in somebody's house, wouldn't you be brave enough to go find YOUR children? This is a generation marred by foolishness.

Instead of this kind of get together (when you know something is liable to jump off)-just make a generous donation of money or school supplies to local schools or other vetted charitable donation. Better yet Mom/Dad save your coins and get your kids the things they need.
